i was wondering if anyone else had done this. and if so, how did you mount it. reason for me putting it there is so i could have a foldout screen. Thoughts, Inputs, Suggestions welcome. thanks



BTW, the big open gap is now covered with a double din ITR block-off plate.

 

i like it...i would do the same if i had a teg and a flip out screen.

 

just get a double din navi unit. solve all problems.

 

ya but the one i want is like $1000. and i dont have the money at the moment(trying to get my car repainted). so since i already have this one, i figured i would just make this work for now.

 

i did the same thing as you for my flip out..everytime i cherp gears it tends to come out..let me know if youve found a way to mount it in right

 

just go buy an "L" bracket from like home depot. find a small bolt/screw that will thread into the back of the deck (where that little mounting hole is) and then mount the other side of the bracket to the metal cross beams/bars that are back there. if because the deck sits lower the bracket will not reach, you can always buy longer/larger "L" brackets and cut them and drill them to work. just one of these tightened enough should hold everything in very tightly and keep the deck from sliding out under acceleration

same thing i did in my old gsr. my best friends are installers so they added some more back straps and other things in there that when i had to actually take it out, it was a PITA

 

kenwood makes one that'll stick out a lil longer so it doesnt touch the ac vent so that way you dont have to modify the ash tray area

or use that aluminum plumbers tape stuff. the aluminum strips with the holes in it. i used some to secure my sub to my strut bar, worked grate. that way you dont have to mess with the length size issue, just cut to fit.

 

yea thats true it will be a pain in the *** to get out, i always end up scratching/cutting the crap out of my arms lol. yea the plumbers stuff is a good idea too, would probabaly work well to attach to the sides of the deck and then run back to the metal bars. i wish there was a way to just remove those side panels so you could actually see what you were doing straight on
